Chunyue Tower has lived up to Huang Lie's beautiful reverie for it, and it is indeed a Fengyue place that dominates the city in the city.

The ancient culture of this Xia Fang has a strong atmosphere, but it is not rigid, and there are not too many rules and regulations. It seems that it is also because the common people and the emperor and bureaucrats are too fond of poetry, songs, dances, and texts, so that they have no intention of developing national strength.

There are indispensable talents here with lupine scarves, and naturally there are also uninhibited talents. These talents occasionally look homesick, looking at the night with a wine glass, and what they say in their mouths is "The ancient road is ten miles of willow green, and the new pavilion is a hundred feet and the moon is bright". Occasionally, I will drink too much, be arrogant, express my chest directly, and raise my head to read the sentence "The man is dressed as a crane, and the belly passes through the rivers and mountains of Shina".

Then he continued to get drunk, and when his tongue was knotted and he walked unsteadily, his eyes were filled with a beautiful light, and he chirped: "The beauty is drunk and drinks wine, and the hero laughs and lies gently." ”

Where is Gentle Township? If you want to say that it is your wife's bed, it is too vulgar, too tasteless, and too unpoetic.

It had to be the quilt of the talented and graceful Oiran in the green building.

Even if it is a famous prostitute in Qinglou, it is also a dusty woman who has lost her footing, but she has to talk all night.

And visiting the Qinglou is not the exclusive leisure and elegance of those sons and brothers who are rich in fine clothes and jade food, and many shy talents from poor families are willing to cut down on food and clothing and leave some money to order a pot of cheapest wine here, listen to a song played by Qing Qi'er, if you can catch up with the Oiran and touch the piano in person, it will be a big luck.

There are even some talented people who really love which girl they love tightly, and when they are drunk, they are holding the pillars in the building, snot and tears, and vowing to redeem which girl.

What's more worth mentioning is that I don't know if these rich or poor talents fall in love with the girls in the building, and there are also girls in the building who really fall in love with a certain man, if the man has the money to redeem her, she will gladly go home with him, even if she is from a humble background and does not expect the media to marry, she is willing to be a concubine. There are also women who save money for themselves and then go to the sweetheart. There are even women who took the money they saved and entangled the poor son who entered Beijing to take the exam, and then looked forward to the other party's return to his hometown.

In Xia Fang, these affairs are not unusual.

Of course, this green building is not as much as it is written in some gaudy vulgar skins and meat business, the main focus here is talent, most of the women in those buildings have a few housekeeping skills, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are a little bit of a knowledge of one or two, and dance is also a compulsory course. The Oiran head card in the building not only has to look beautiful and moving, but also has to beat the other sisters in terms of talent.

Some women vow not to sell their art, and some women have to stay overnight with them when they first enter this industry.

Of course, there are also those who do not shirk, that is, they are more expensive...

As for those places where the price is not high, there are not many tricks, and they are directly used as a business, but they are not as grand as Chunyue Tower. The women in those places are called prostitutes, and the women in this building are called prostitutes.

* Prostitution is a naked vulgarity, and the word "prostitute" is full of romantic feelings.

In short, this is not a clean and elegant art scene, but it is not just a vulgar and charming meat market. If you want to come and drink and listen to music, you can, and it's not unusual to bring your wife. If you want to find a girl to accompany you for a drink, it is not a problem to take the opportunity to touch the girl's little hand and hug her waist. If you want to go further, add money.

At this time, it was close to dusk, and it was not yet the golden hour when the business of Chunyue Building was the hottest, but there were also guests who walked inside. Not only the four pretty girls standing downstairs, but also the piano music played in the building is also a means of attracting guests.

Huang Lie wanted to go in

Take a look, but still endure it and accompany Jiang Ling to do the right thing first, who knew that in a blink of an eye, Jiang Ling went to Chunyue Tower without saying a word.

Huang Lie hurriedly caught up, and the two walked side by side to the door of the Spring Moon Tower.

The four girls who didn't look to be more than twenty years old, with delicate and graceful figures, smiled with their eyebrows, saluted slightly, and said in a delicate voice: "Welcome guest officer~"

As soon as this charming and tactful voice came out, Huang Lie only felt that the warm breeze was blowing on his face and he was comfortable, and then nodded to the girls with a smile on his face.

Jiang Ling ignored Huang Lie and the girl beside him, and just walked in with his eyes in a daze.

After entering, a young man in Tsing Yi also greeted with a smile and welcomed the two to a round table. There are ten sets of tables and chairs in the hall on the first floor, and there are stairs leading to the second floor on both sides, the second and third floors are not completely closed, the middle is open, and when you look up, you can see a thin veil hanging in the middle of the third floor, and the figure of a woman playing the qin faintly appears inside, and the sound of the piano naturally comes from there.

Although Tsing Yi Xiaoer looks seventeen or eighteen years old, he has actually been here for some years, and he is very skilled in business. ”

Jiang Ling still stared blankly at the position where the piano sounded on the third floor, and did not speak. And Huang Lie, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly lost a lot of momentum after entering the house. He saw that the interior of this building was exquisitely furnished, antique, and quite exquisite. It won't be low. But now it's too late to feel sorry for the pocket, and besides, I came with Jiang Ling this time, and there is no reason to spend my own money. Thinking of this, and then looking at Jiang Ling's stupid look, Huang Lie was arrogant again, and calmly responded: "It's indeed the first time to come to our Yichun Courtyard..."

Tsing Yi Xiao Er interrupted: "Guest officer, we are here in Chunyue Tower. ”

"Oh, almost." Huang Lie grinned and said, "Please tell me how to charge." ”

Tsing Yi Xiaoer's smile was a little solidified, this Chunyue Building is also the leader of the Qinglou in the city, and those who walk into this building are either rich or expensive, or those talented people who have leisure and elegance, how can there be such a direct inquiry like visiting the vegetable market? But when the guest asked, Xiao Er still responded politely: "The next table is two silver, the second floor is five silver, and the third floor is twenty silver." ”

Huang Lie was stunned for a moment, and then asked uncertainly: "What you said is the table fee?" ”

"Huh?" Where does Xiao Er understand this word.

Huang Lie had already laughed and said: "The charging concept is quite advanced, this is the minimum consumption, and you have to charge money if you don't order wine." ”

Tsing Yi Xiaoer's patience was not bad, but half of his smile had dissipated, and he nodded: "That's right." ”

Huang Lie thought to himself that he would spend a lot of money in the narrow room, and there would be six silver coins left in his pocket, not to mention that the table fee of these two silver coins was not cheap, the two of them definitely couldn't really spend two silver coins to sit still, they must order two pots of wine to fill the scene, but can the wine here be cheap?

Who knew that Jiang Ling, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke up: "Is this woman playing the piano a girl in the building?" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to pay for it, Xiao Er's smile finally faded away, and he said indifferently: "It's really not, it's a little girl who occasionally comes to play the piano to earn some money." ”

"I'd like to meet this girl." Jiang Ling opened his mouth like this.

Xiao Er began to hold back the anger in his heart, thinking to himself Where did the two guys who didn't understand the rules come from, they didn't pay when they entered the building, and they opened their mouths to see the girl, didn't they come to stir up trouble? What kind of ordinary restaurant should you be, allowing you two outsiders to go wild. Xiao Er was about to shout for someone to expel the guest, but he heard two crisp clanging sounds.

"I almost forgot." Jiang Ling smiled apologetically.

Xiao Er looked down, his eyes lit up suddenly, and the smile returned to his face. He put away the two pieces of broken silver that Jiang Ling threw down, and said, "The guest officer is magnificent, thank you to the guest officer."

Reward, I'll go to the girl. Then he said with some embarrassment: "But that girl is not from the building after all, and I don't guarantee that she will want to see you." ”

"Excuse me." Jiang Ling smiled.

The power of money is great, Xiao Er nodded politely and turned to leave.

Huang Lie glared at his eyes and whispered: "You kid also said that I pretended to be a big-tailed wolf, but it was two pieces of silver, which can be exchanged for twenty silver coins, and you just rewarded it like this?" Loser. ”

Jiang Ling said helplessly: "I really have something." ”

At this time, the qin song has ended, Jiang Ling still looked up at the gauze tent on the third floor, this qin song just now is nothing else, it is Zhou Yu's best song - Jiang Zuofu!

Jiang Ling heard Zhou Yu say that although he had played this piece in the Xia Fang Palace, it was in the limelight for a while, but it was not popularized, because it was the completion of this piece but it had the credit of the princess, and the emperor liked it very much, so it was naturally regarded as a forbidden one, and the score was not allowed to be passed on at will.

Moreover, after Zhou Yu eloped with the princess, and then entered the Divine Crowd and became the Chiyao Star Official among the Twelve Star Officials, Emperor Xia Fang immediately burned all Zhou Yu's piano scores in order to clear the relationship to prevent the Divine Court from blaming, and strictly forbade the country to play the piano music composed by Zhou Yu again.

A full five hundred years have passed like this, although with the passage of time, both the Xia Fang royal family and the divine court no longer care whether Zhou Yu's qin music is still played, and they have not deliberately erased it. But the power of time is strong enough, and the music that was banned back then is naturally even less known.

But at this time, there was a girl who played Jiang Zuofu, and it was exactly the same, how could Jiang Ling not care about the identity of this woman?

With the end of the song, the figure of the woman behind the gauze tent also disappeared, and after a while, the young man in Tsing Yi returned with a pot of wine, with an apologetic face, bent down and said: "The little incompetence failed to convince the woman, she... She's gone. But I can't take your reward in vain, there is a pot of good Huadiao wine, you drink it first, and there will be other girls playing the piano later. ”

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, sighed, and got up to leave.

Xiao Er took a step closer and whispered, "That girl walked through the back door and went south." ”

Jiang Ling nodded in thanks when he heard this, and walked away.

Huang Lie couldn't stop it if he wanted to, thinking that his ass was just sitting hot, and he hadn't called the two water spirit girls to accompany him, so he left?

Huang Lie also stood up in annoyance, then he turned his head to look at Xiao Er, who was slightly embarrassed, glanced at the wine in his hand again, and asked seriously, "Can this wine be returned?" ”

After a while, Huang Lie chased after him from behind, with a look of indignation, muttering about the loser in his mouth, and then he hiccuped, and there was a smell of alcohol.

Jiang Ling glanced at him helplessly and said, "I'm anxious to see that girl." ”

"Anyway, I didn't spend my money... Hiccup..."

Jiang Ling walked quickly around the back of the restaurant and chased eastward.

After a while, he saw the back of a woman, holding a piano case in his arms that was not much shorter than her height, Jiang Ling naturally followed quickly, and shouted at the same time: "Girl." ”

The girl did not look back, but quickened her pace.

With Jiang Ling's strength, it was naturally easy to catch up, but he didn't want to be abrupt, so he just followed the girl and asked, "Can the girl tell me what song you just played?" ”

"I can't." The girl replied coldly.

Jiang Ling asked unrelentingly: "The qin song is Jiang Zuofu. ”

The woman's figure paused slightly, and her voice trembled slightly: "I don't know." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but be puzzled.

A few minutes later, the woman came to a small house and ran briskly inside.

She shouted, "Grandpa, run!" ”
